Our time with Nathan and Katie at the Quinta was so so beautiful! We immediately felt welcomed into their life’s and trusted with our tasks.

Nathan created a very special place which we will always keep in our heart as one of the best Workaways we did. We are wishing him the best & and are so looking forward to coming back someday!:)
It was great having Liona and Marie volunteer at the quinta - their bond with our pets Max and Minnie was so special and sweet to see and they even befriended our neighbour's horse! They were hardworking, helping with a variety of tasks from taking ownership of a giant macrame craft project, to cleaning out the chicken coop to painting. We really

Tamar was an amazing workawayer and will be very much missed.

thank you so much for the beautiful time shared and the connection 🙏🏼🌱✨️
Jaciara was a great volunteer - although she was only here for a short time, she really felt like part of our community and was really helpful around the house. From her brilliant creative skills working on our blackboard and macrame projects, to her foraging to her delicious cooking she was a great addition to the house. Best of luck on the rest

Thanks so much for having us! We really enjoyed your beautiful place and appreciated the relaxed atmosphere. It was great to contribute wherever we could, and we’re very pleased to know our help was valued. We learned a lot and hope everything continues to go well with your projects. Wishing you all the best!

Ed and Lea were fantstic volunteers and a delight to have around the house. Nothing seems to phase Ed with a DIY and building knowledge that is seemingly never ending. He turned his hand to a variety of bigger projects and quicker fixes whilst he was here and it hugely helpful to have someone so reliable to call upon when things weren't working.
… read more Lea threw herself into everything that was asked of her, and helped us make some much needed progress in the garden. Her cooking was also top notch, and she scouted out a few local hikes I had yet to discover which I'm looking forward to trying! I would definitely recommend both workawayers to any hosts and I wish them the best of luck with their travels!

Ahhh we're so I begin. staying with Nathan at the Quinta was a great experience, beautiful house and all around great vibes. he is a whole hearted, lovely person, pursuing his dreams and supporting him has been a great pleasure. From collective Dinners and Boardgame Nights to exploring the local cultural scene there was always something to do.

Carl was truly a fantastic guest! He really shared our vision for what we hope this project will become, and was full of great ideas for what we needed to do next along our journey. From his work on the sauna, lawnmowing, his help building a garden path and his beloved pressure washing he was happy to turn his hand to whatever was asked of him.

In addition to his work around the house, he was also great company and I really enjoyed our chats and our jams - a highlight was playing together at the local open mic. He will be sorely missed and we hope to welcome him back to the quinta soon!
What can we say about this volunteering, we have left with our hearts full of wonderful experiences, and not only because of what is lived there, but also because of the people with whom we share. Nat, we are so grateful for your helpful and kind person, and for creating that space that made us feel at home all the time, from being the first

As for the tasks always very flexible, creating such a friendly atmosphere that we enjoy the tasks, always being able to give our opinion and plan for everything to be for the better.
Summarizing our experience and treatment, if you want to have a beautiful and warm welcome, enjoying the incredible space surrounded by plants and flowers, silence and birds singing, sharing with people with a pure and simple heart, we recommend you to go to Nat's house and enjoy your stay!!!
PS: take care and love Max very much, he is the best dog that can exist
THANK YOU!!!! We will be back soon ❤️🫂
I completely lucked out with having Ro and Adri as my first ever workawayers - they were both absolutely fantastic! Their enthusiasm, hard work and initiative were exactly what I needed to help me get my project off the ground. From their artistic talents, to their green fingers in the garden, to their delicious cooking, they contributed so much

They were also great company around the house, and I really enjoyed Adri's many creative nicknames for my dog Max and playing music together with Ro.

Eva was a fantastic addition to the household - willing to take on any task that came her way and full of initiative. She was great at taking ownership of a project, and was always enthusiastic to see whatever she was working on through to completion, whether that was helping to build the compost heap, to preparing the vegetable garden to her

As well as her ability to take on and learn new skills, she also brought some really useful knowledge to the quinta, whether through her knack for foraging - often coming back from the garden with onions, potatoes or some other edible treat she had found growing in our land - or her amazing cooking. We will really miss her homemade pita bread, kimchee and desserts! She also had a great bond with my dog Max and my cat Minnie. I would definitely recommend her to any other host, and I hope she comes back to visit us at the quinta in the future!

I had a wonderful time at Nathan's place! First of all he is incredibly kind and flexible. He is just starting up living here and we were able to help with starting up the garden, general maintaining the place, cleaning up, doing some small DIY projects. It was really nice working together and sharing meals in the evening. For me the perfect

Nathan really divided work adapted to our wishes and strenghts. I felt like I could add useful things, learn by doing and trial and error:)
The place itself is amazing. surrounded by trees, fruit trees, a waterfall in the garden and lovely animals! you can do beautiful hikes in the surroundings and the little town is nice.
this is the perfect Workaway for people who are flexible, can take some initiative and work on their own, are happy with brainstorming toghether and sharing ideas. Nathan is always open for dialogue and very empathetic. I felt at home from the beginning.
During colder/rainy days it can be a bit cold in the house. So cozy slippers are very useful.
I am very grateful to have been part of this project and will be happy to return one day to see you and the this tiny paradise again.Help us fulfil our dream of making our own wine in the Dao Region, Portugal
